Step-by-step

Clicking the Chemistry ribbon’s “Draw Structure” button to open a structure editor in which you can draw your structure.

Click the OK button and Chem4Word will search ChemSpider to see if we can find a name for your structure, that you can use that name elsewhere in your document; we’ll show you how in a separate tutorial.

Edit the name that was found or just leave it as it is

You now have your first structure in your Microsoft Word document!
